Topic: Whirlpool ice maker water leak (Read 10840 times)

I have a whirlpool top/bottom fridge with ice maker. The ice maker appears to be part 2198597

It started leaking water non-stop last night. I turned off the water and pulled out the ice maker. Everything looked okay.

I'm not sure if I need a new ice maker unit, or a water valve.

My question is, with the ice maker unit pulled out of the freezer, and the water on, should water flow into the freezer? Or should the valve hold back the water while the ice maker unit is out of the freezer?

Disregard that advice if you know whats good for you....the module is not a serviceable part!Your water should not flow if the icemaker is removed. Once you provide the model as Mr. Capone requires, a replacement module for your icemaker can be recommended.

You can put a jumper between L and V and this will activate the watervalve.

If you jump the water valve and water comes out at least you know the valve is working.
